Genetic characterization of the <i>apterous</i> Life Span Enhancer in <i>Drosophila melanogaster</i>

2025-12-08

Abstract excerpt

The selector gene apterous ( ap ) of Drosophila melanogaster is best known for its prominent role in wing formation. ap null flies are viable but have no wings. However, ap null flies are associated with another phenotype whose analysis was largely neglected in the past 40 years: adults die precociously 2-3 days after eclosion. We have recently published a comprehensive analysis on the physiology of this st...
